The Firing of many Staff from the Radio Station
I find it very unpleasant to listen to now. A mix of music styles and highlighting the variety of the Cleveland music scene was always the radio's greatest strength, and in addition I strongly dislike the firing of such dedicated and passionate staff.

A different city will put the money made from games to better use than the our city government… clowns running the show

WCSB
I am angry with Cleveland State University and Ideastream for their decision to end the student and volunteer run WCSB radio station. WCSB was an organic, free range, grassroots expression of Cleveland culture. It's programming was diverse and offered something for everyone, and things you couldn't find anywhere else. It provided opportunity to students to get their start in broadcasting. All of this was destroyed by the decision to change the format to all jazz music programming. There was no reason, no need for this to happen. And the way it was done showed a complete disrespect for the organization that ran the station for nearly 50 years. CSU and Ideastream should be ashamed of themselves, and I add my voice to the growing call to return the station to its former incarnation.

Cleveland Browns
City of Cleveland residents deserve better leadership than what is currently being displayed in this fight over the relocation of the football team. Nearly a third of residents live at or below the poverty line. Streets and infrastructure are outdated and crumbling, basic municipal services are inefficient and poorly managed, and the Forest City's tree canopy is dying. Residents are struggling to afford the rising cost of food, medical care, property taxes, and other necessities, and nearly every publicly funded agency in Northeast Ohio is reporting budget constraints in this economy. Let's reevaluate priorities and put funds where they are truly needed and not in the Haslams' already well-lined pockets.

Browns stadium
They are the Cleveland Browns not Brookpark Browns. Bring back the proposal to build a stadium just north of the stadium, fill in the lake and build the new stadium while playing in the old one. What premier development is going in the spot of the old stadium??? I say have the owner pay until they have a respectable product on the field
That's it!

Browns Settlement
Basically Haslam bribed the mayor/city of Cleveland to leave the lakefront using money from the state. Neither the mayor or the city of Cleveland should be accepting bribes. And money should not be taken from taxpayers to be used for bribes.

Relocation of the Browns
My name is Rich Raphael. I am a proud resident of Ward 6, and I will not mince words today. Cleveland City Council, would you PLEASE reign in Mayor FIBB (no typo) he had no business making deals with anyone without at least attempting to communicate with and get something resembling informal consensus from the Committee of the Whole. Mayor FIBB has once again betrayed the citizens of Cleveland, not recognizing or not caring about the devastating economic impact moving the Browns out of Downtown will have on Cleveland's economy. This Mayor promised us that he was going to represent people and neighborhoods first and in making this deal, he has once again shown the citizens of Cleveland that he has every intention of doing the exact polar opposite of that.
PLEASE do not allow this deal to proceed at this time. PLEASE have the city (and not an outside consultant) do a detailed analysis of the negative economic impact moving the Browns will have on Cleveland's economy and then drop in in Mayor FIBB 's lap so he can see the truth, then release it to all local media outlets.
I have had quite enough of Mayor FIBB 's shenanigans, and I sincerely hope City Council had to. He should have gotten Council's input before he made a move and I feel very strongly that it's VERY disrespectful that Mayor FIBB did not.
Thank you.

Stadium site
Use this money to develop the lake. A superhero museum would be unique and draw thousands. Look at how ComicCon transformed San Diego. Imagine a rock hall and a superhero hall. Home of Superman and many movies filmed here. You could make a walking app showing all the areas where movies were made

Browns Stadium
Browns stadium should stay Downtown because it the central location for all sports teams, hotels and food spots as Clevelander you want more eyes and attention downtown not towards the suburbs and other distant locations, the move to brookpark is about nothing but ownership and control and as soon as the novelty wears off that location will be Richfield all over again, plus the waste of dollars to relocate back downtown (if there’s a location). The future is not guaranteed for anyone, keep the fight alive for Downtown and stadium, when downtown wins, the entire city wins!

Browns stadium
I feel the Browns should not move off the shores of Lake Erie and we don't need a dome stadium. Football is meant to be played outdoors not indoors.
I feel that the city needs to crack down on crime and not be soft on it. Downtown Cleveland has a lot to offer . I see no need for the Browns to move out of downtown as there are already food, shopping, museums. I don't feel what the Haslams group wants to build is need or truly wanted. Also I disagree with the state using the unclaimed funds to help in building the unwanted stadium. I feel that money should be used to help the city or any city for that matter in bettering schools, roads, water, sewer and electrical grid across Ohio.
Get them to stop building the new stadium and get it back downtown.
